| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Yes, I believe the listening atmosphere is very important to the overall aesthetic of the experience. Such as when seated in our very fine looking (unfortunately with suspicious sonics) Verizon Hall. Please google verizon hall images to see the be... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? To give you an idea of how I test things:This is a 126 MB file so it will take a minute to load. I'll keep it up for a day or so :)http://www.moneyrec.com/vids/audiogon.avi | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? For me, yes. I am happy when I see, touch and experience all the great pieces of audio art that grace my home. I truly relish in it all. I collect art as well and feel the same way. It brings me happiness. I've been smitten by audio equipment sinc... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? To me, a turntable is part art, part performance. I too collect and I love the pursuit of the acquisition as much as I do the day to day enjoyment of it. Why do I need four simultaneous working tables in the main system? Why do I need five classic... | |
| Direct Drive turntables And yes to Raul, +++I repeat again again and again ( many times everywhere ) that the mat/platter build material where the record/LP seats directly is almost the more important subject/factor to achieve the highest quality performance+++I have to ... | |
| Direct Drive turntables My travels in DD vs. Belt came to a head twice 1) years back with my first Luxman PD444, 2) three years ago with my minty beauty Goldmund Studio. I was a Walker disciple having penned the first review in TAS and having helped Lloyd with the belt t... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? At the top level you are chosing ergonomics, looks, pride of ownership, and touch and feel. I think with your experience you know that all tables have some sonic signature. Thuchan, I believe it would be a grand addition to your collection. Also, ... | |
| Moving into vinyl. Brinkman, TW Raven, GrandPrix?? I would start with a Thorens TD 160 and see if you like all the vinyl rituals, all the good sound and all the very hands on adjusting, tweeking and experimenting :)Peter | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought Best vintage/classic table: Pierre Lurne' J1 with outboard motor- most detailed, most musical, most dynamic, best pitch...Forget the old DDs (except the Rockports and Goldmunds-only) and rim drives; all inconsequential (and best suited for hobbyis... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? M-05But both are great amplifiers.Peter | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Walker, period.I believe every well healed audiophile should own this table once in their life. It is the most revealing table you will every hear. There is n-o mid bass bump, and there is that enormous soundstage that you will remember forever. I... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? Leo,Try a Pioneer M-25 if you want to experiment (just don't sell that M-22 to do it). The M-25 has more punch and edge definition a-n-d gobs of power, less magic but that's ok. And shhhhhhh, about the M-05, one of the world's greatest amplifiers.... | |
| Goldmund Reference versus Walker I compared the Walker to the Studio with T3F arm (same arm as on the ref). The ref was not a big seller so I don't know if you'll get an exact response. The Walker is more accurate and ss like, while the Goldmund is more romantic sounding. Short o... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? When I talk classics, I mean amps such as Nelson's SA-1s, Krell KSA 50 or 100. Amps that transcend the normal. Again, I'm referring to the Aleph stereo model that was square in shape. I don't believe these particular stereo amps are as "collectabl... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? I had one of Nelson' Aleph stereo amps plus I've owned several M-22s and M-25s. I would place the M-22 above the Aleph stereo primarily due to the "magic" factor. The M-22 is one of the greatest low powered amplifiers that I've had the privilege t... |
